Good morning, Y’all!

Well, tomorrow morning I’ll be heading back to
Fort Wayne to get ready to move our stuff down here.  My housekeeper called yesterday (haven’t found a housekeeper here yet…gonna have to work on that).  She and her friend have most everything packed.  I told her to wait on the bed, the bathroom and some of the kitchen as I’ll need those things while I’m there (oh, and the TV and computer…gotta have some form of entertainment!).  So, there won’t be much for me to do, but I have utilities to get transferred back to the landlady and cable boxes to return…things like that, so I have to be there on a couple of weekdays.  I’ve already had our mail forwarded and changed the address on our credit cards and such.

So really, there’s not much reason to be heading up this weekend except the trip will be easier than on a weekday.  I won’t have to worry about commute traffic.  And even though I could make the trip in one day, I’m gonna break it into two and spend the night along the way.  I don’t want to over do it.  Yeah, I’m learning, finally.  I’ll drive about 8 hours tomorrow (with stops) and then only have about 6 hours to drive on Sunday.

Micheal will fly into
Indianapolis Wednesday evening.  He’ll get there about 7:30.  It’ll take a little over 2 hours to get back to Fort Wayne from there, so we’ll stop and have dinner before leave
Indianapolis.

Thursday morning we’ll pick up the moving truck.  Our housekeeper already has a couple of guys to help Micheal load the truck so it shouldn’t take long.  We’ll head out as soon as they’re finished.  We’ll stop along the way and spend the night and get back here sometime late Friday afternoon or early evening.  A couple of the guys that work for Micheal have volunteered to help unload the truck so they’ll be here early Saturday morning.  I’m gonna have the rental people come pick up the rental furniture that morning so we’ll have room to get everything in.

We did go shopping last Sunday.  We bought a beautiful light cherry entertainment center and a coffee table and end tables that match it.  They’ll be delivered the Tuesday after we get back from
Fort Wayne.  They cost a lot more than I would have spent, but Micheal said we can afford a few nice things for a change, so why not.  We’ll eventually buy a bedroom suite and a few other things.

Micheal is planning on us doing some entertaining so it’ll be nice having things to really be proud of.  And we have plenty of room here for that.  We even have a nice large covered patio in the back.  We’re gonna get one of those free-standing outdoor fireplaces to use out there.

I’ve been trying to watch what I eat.  I’ve been eating a lot of salad the past couple of weeks.  I don’t have my scale here, but judging from the way my clothes fit I don’t think I’ve lost anything but I’m sure I haven’t gained any more weight back.  So that’s a good thing.  After we finally get settled in, I’m gonna start concentrating more on making that scale go back down and keep going down.

Well, I’m gonna go read a few blogs then pack what little I’m taking with me tomorrow.  I’ll post again after I get back.

Y’all have a great day!!!
